No he did not. There was no birth records if he did have children. No he did not. There was no birth records if he did have children.
Birth certificates are universal forms of birth records. It's kept with the state the child is born and is the same across all 50. For certified birth records, all you need is a birth certificate. The certificate serves as the record of the birth.
First: You need to know your grandfather's full name, the names and/or initials he typically used, his date of birth, his place of birth, and where he lived before joining the Navy. If your grandfather had a common name, you may need all this information. Second: Search Ancestry.com to locate any records they may have. You might find his draft registration record (original image) as well as his Navy enlistment record. Ancestry.com charges a subscription fee; however, I think they allow trial memberships. Third: Microfilm records are also available at the National Achives (free).
Where the records have been digitized and placed in a database, this kind of search can be done. Most repositories of birth records do not have that capability.
If your grandfather is alive, ask him. If your grandfather is deceased, his birth certificate or death certificate may have the names. If you know where he lived as a child, you may be able to find him on a census record from around that time and see who his parents were. If they were church goers, there may also be some church records that would have this information.
Most birth records can be ordered either from the state or county in which the birth occurred. Some agencies have restrictions as to access to the information. You can locate contact information by state or county through Free Public Records Directory.

Go to this link to find out Nebraska Birth Records- you need to provide first name and last name of the persons for whom you need the birth record.
